Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it and make it the life you want to live.” ---Mae Jemison
How do we foster curiosity in our OST learning spaces? Inquiry based learning allows young people to engage in problem solving and
STEAM-based activities can help encourage them to discover new ideas on their own. Join us in this workshop as we share meaningful learning experiences and practice how to ask effective questions that guide students to use skills, tools and prior knowledge that will help them find their own answers.
Learning Goals:
- Understanding the value of curiosity and inquiry-based, youth centered learning;
- Collaborating and sharing meaningful learning experiences with fellow participants; and
- Exploring the practice of asking effective questions.
